[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 1990481, member: 100904"] Hello [USER=500538]@charlie000[/USER] First of all, congratulations on your decision to get healthier. I notice you mention that you are pre-diabetic, and you can turn that round by making some changes to diet, and losing some weight is a good start. If you haven’t already, have a read of the info [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] posts for new members. She will post it here soon. This will help you prepare, and you can always ask questions after reading. Our members are keen to help with advice from their own experience. Are you measuring blood glucose levels? If not, you would be well advised to start. Get yourself a meter and test strips. You will have to buy them yourself, but a good investment as they allow you to see the effects of what you are eating on your blood glucose levels. I am concerned that you have had a recent cardiac event, and are planning a drastic weight loss regime. Have you discussed this with your GP / medical team for the AF? Also concerned that you are starting a weight loss plan without doing the planning first. You are setting yourself up to fail. Sorry if that seems harsh, but I would hate to see you fail. It is so demoralising. If you are determined to try the Newcastle diet method, make sure you read up the study papers and plan accordingly. It is not a quick fix, nor is it a starvation diet.

GPs can now prescribe the diabetes.co.uk Low Carb program. There is a wealth of information throughout the forums on how to progress on this and other methods.
